Shirley Ann Venable

Graveside services will be at 10 a.m. Monday in Memorial Park Cemetery with the Rev. Doug Gehm of Grace Church officiating. Arrangements are by Memorial Park Funeral Home, 6969 E. Interstate 40.

Shirley was born Jan. 19, 1947, in Germany to Dave and Linde Sullins. She graduated from Palo Duro High School in Amarillo. Shirley married J.B. Venable on Sept. 3, 1965. She worked at Trinity Fellowship Church for more than 20 years in children’s ministry and resources. Shirley loved the Lord and her family with all her heart, and, while we will miss her, we rejoice that she is now in our heavenly father’s care.

She was preceded in death by a sister, Diana Spielbauer; a niece, Shauna Jo Sullins; and her parents.

Survivors include her husband, J.B. Venable; three sons, Chris Venable, Roger Venable and wife Angela and David Venable and wife Mary; two sisters, Carol Dickenson and husband Chuck, Amy Hackley and Terry Van Huss, all of Amarillo; a brother, Terry Sullins and wife Lynnae of Pleasanton, Kan.; and five grandchildren, Arielle, Brayden, Ashley, Tiffany and Timothy.

Our deepest gratitude goes to the wonderful caregivers at Baptist St. Anthony’s Hospice for their loving care and support.

The family suggests memorials be to Baptist St. Anthony’s Hospice, P.O. Box 950, Amarillo, TX 79105.
